Gold Rush

My grocery store run often ends at the machine where you can lottery tickets. Recently, I’d bought a Gold Rush for Rob and he won $100. So now this particular lottery ticket is his lucky ticket. Today, I bought my usual $2 Loteria, my lucky ticket, and didn’t have any more ones to buy a $2 Gold Rush for Rob, so I decided to buy him a $5 Gold Rush.

I picked up my $2 Loteria and saw a $5 Gold Rush sitting next to it, but I still had my five bucks in my hand, so I hadn’t bought it. What the hell, I thought, and picked it up. An instantaneous manifestation?

I gave it to Rob when I got home and told him the story. He started scratching off the numbers – and won 5 bucks! For this week, our new lucky number is 5.
